>> all right, barbara starr at the pentagon. thank you, barbara. >>> in regards to the petraeus part of this story, fbi agents did search the home of paula broadwell last night, nearly a dozen agents seen here carrying boxes out of her north carolina home. they were also seen taking photos inside her home, not sure exactly what they were looking for or what they found. the fbi saying only that the search was a matter of tying up loose ends. broadwell hasn't been seen at her home since the story broke about her affair with petraeus. >>> still ahead, if petraeus had resigned for, let's say health reasons, would he still have to testify this week on the benghazi attack? we'll talk about the chances of that and the chances of him taking the hot seat. >>> plus, police want to question him about a murder, but he is nowhere to be found. coming up, i'll speak live with someone who just spoke with software pioneer john mcafee, who is on the run. he's in hiding. we'll get the very latest coming up. whole new line of tablets from dell. it'

put out a statement yesterday that sounded very confident that once he feels like people review the pentagon inspector general ends up reviewing the e-mails, they'll find there's nothing egregrious there. that may end up being the case. you're seeing a defense secretary now sort of cast a wide net and send aid very clear message that if this kind of thing is going on among other flag officers, senior officers, that it needs to be fixed immediately. >> so i think, suzanne, one of the things so many people have been astounded at when the they hear about two four-star generals involved is the access that these women, jill kelley and paula broadwell seemed to have to them. have they had their wings clipped? >> well, this is such a fascinating discussion in so many different directions you can take on it. it was great reporting from kyra phillips that you just played a few minutes ago. there are still some really tough questions even for general petraeus. he didn't come public about this. he didn't come clean. he didn't start apologizing till after he was caught. i think we do have to offer a lit

she a few weeks ago gave a briefing here in the pentagon to the press corps. she may not be known much outside of washington, but inside the circle of military families, very, very highly respected. >> yeah, i read today she was one of those generals' wives that was accessible and part of the regular folks living day to day. today we heard that david petraeus wants to fix his marriage. has there been any word on how she is reacting to that news? will she stand by her husband? do we know? >> well, we don't. i mean, let's be clear, this is a deeply personal, painful and private matter for mrs. petraeus. she does not live her personal life in the public eye, very professional publicly. and simply is not one of those people in washington who lives her life out there. i can only imagine how painful this is for her. she grew up in a military family. if you want to talk about army royalty, it's holly petraeus, not dave petraeus. her father was a superintendent at west point. the record of military service in her family goes all the way back to the revolutionary war.
